Switzerland is charming country, and at
every hotel we have stopped at we have had
honey for breakfast The SwitZer may for
get grace at breakfast, but he does not for
get honey, and Swiss honey is as sweet and

These Swiss houses are built with such ex-

houses have to 60 without. OF course many
persons will doubt this statement, but they
won't unless they have never seen the Swiss
houses, and until they do see them they are
not competent to sit in judgment. In some
cases they are so wide that a set of hinges
might be put in and the cave let down
like an old fashioned table leaf, to serve as sn
extra thickness of wall in cold weather.
These are the first frame houses we have
seen, too excepting those temporarily erected
along the coast between Marseilles and Genoa

The Woman with the Garden Hose.


Beware of the woman with the garden
hose. Although she may be arrayed in sum-
mer garb and look sweet enough to eat, at
last she biteth like a serpent and stingeth like
an adder. That is if she is within reach Of
you. And she generally is, allowing that you
are not in the next county. And if you are,
she has female cousin over there with a
garden hose also. A woman with hose is
more terrible than an army with banners. A
man who controlleth his temper is greater than
he that taketh city, but no man, neither the
son Of man, can control his temper and be
soaked from crown to toe by the woman who
is trying to sprinkle the lawn. There is no
lawn, no tract Of land, no universe big
enough to protect the outside world from this
woman, even though she stands in the center
Of it. Give her garden hose and good
pressure and Noah will begin to reconstruct
the ark, sending out his agents after samples
by twos of the horned cattle and the beasts OF
the fields, for 10! she is holy terror.-On

Summers Hatred of Scandal.

1t was maxim with him to say nothing
but good of the absent and dead. Not that
he would fail to criticise men as well as
measures, but he was an absolute enemy to
scandal and gossip; and he would often go to
the verge of Endorsement in defending the alb
sent.
"But, SENATOR" friend once said, when
thus put on the defensive, "Iye heard you
say as much to his face"
"To his face, yesl" was the reply.
Sometimes, when others in his presence
would fall into a gossiping vein, he opposed
the protest of absolute silence to the tone the
talk had taken. 1t was curious to note the
wet blanket effect his attitude would have on
the conversation. He would not change the
subject; he simply stared at the speaker and
left him to say the next word.
He was absolutely of clean, pure mind.
Emerson said, "He was the whitest soul 1
ever knew" So far as I am aware, no one
ventured to tell a risque story in his presence.
1t is said of him that at dinner table he
quenched raconteur who began something
by saying, 81 will venture to tell you good
story, as there are no ladies present. by say
ing But, sir, there are gentlemen present. "

All our hearts grew aflame,
For he was an Apollo in feature;
And the gliding of birth
Brightly crowned all his worth,
And we vowed him an elegant creature.

From our noble guest, handsome and witty,
And we learned with chagrin
